Chinese Producer Prices have now fallen YoY for 45 consecutive months and November's 5.9% YoY drop is the largest since the crisis in 2009.

With today's Yuan fix, PBOC has weakened the Yuan back below the August devaluation lows, back to its weakest against the USD since August 2011. Judging by Offshore Yuan, there is a lot more weakening to come.
